Legal Industry All Set to be Taken by Storm by New Tech Start Up
Nowadays, a new tech start up springs up every other day but there are very few which have the potential to become real game changers in their chosen industries and as such it is not a surprise that there are so many tech start ups which close shop after a few months. However, the new legal solutions tech start up Ross Intelligence seems to be in the former category and aims to solve one of the fundamental issues as far as the legal industry is concerned-legal research.
Lawyers at law firms are known to spend hours towards researching the nitty gritties of a particular case and in addition to that they need to refer to past cases of a similar nature in order to build a case of their own. Usually, that takes up a lot of time but the artificial intelligence platform built by Ross Intelligence allows lawyers to simply search for a relevant case and the database of the application will throw up all the relevant results. The co-founder and the CEO of the firm Andrew Arruda explained it further, "Lawyers may know the law and where it stands on a particular issue today but many cases come out and it can change that so they're always looking into the past to build the future.The issue with that is there's just millions of cases. What our system is able to do is keep up to track with all these changes in the law so at a glance a lawyer can help their clients really, really efficiently,"
However, the most important thing to point out with regards to the platform is that the developers believe that it could help in saving lawyers 30% of the time they spend on researching past cases and if that turns out to be true then there is no doubt that it could end up being the single biggest invention in the field of legal technology solutions. Arruda further said, "Our system is actually able to understand, when a lawyer asks it a question, what they are really looking for. It does that by examining the different words in the sentence, contextualising it and seeing the relationships between those words. In an instant it knows what the user is looking for and once a system knows what the user is looking for it's also able to learn from them on what's best to bring up, so there's this constant feedback loop that Ross learns from its users,"
